Benefits of technology

[0017]An optical filter according to the present invention includes an optical article which contains two or more kinds of near-infrared absorbing pigment and thus has two or more absorption peaks including first and second absorption peaks in a wavelength range of 380 nm to 1,200 nm. Therefore, the optical filter shows high transmittance...

Problems solved by technology

However, a conventionally used reflective near-infrared blocking filter has a limit in that it cannot be applied to a high-resolution camera module with five or more mega pixels because a ghost phenomenon of taking an unintended image is severe due to internal reflection bet...

fabrication examples 1 to 4

[0123]According to a fabrication example of the present invention, an optical article having first absorption peak and second absorption peak was prepared as follows.

[0124]A near-infrared absorbing pigment A (QCR Solutions Corp., US) represented as Formula 1 and having the absorption maximum in the wavelength range of 700±5 nm, a near-infrared absorbing pigment B (QCR Solutions Corp., US) represented as Formula 1 and having the absorption maximum in the wavelength range of 720±5 nm, and a near-infrared absorbing pigment C (Carlit Co., Ltd., Japan) represented as Formula 2 and having the absorption maximum in the wavelength range of 1,097±5 nm were mixed as contents shown in Table 1 below on the basis of 100 parts by weight of a resin. At this time, a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resin was used as the resin, and cyclohexanone was used as an organic solvent. Afterward, the resulting mixture was stirred using a stirrer for 24 hours or more such that an absorbing solution was prepared....

examples 1 to 7

[0126]A first selective wavelength reflection layer having a dielectric multilayer film structure was formed by alternately depositing SiO2 and Ti3O5 on a first main surface of each of the optical articles prepared in Fabrication Examples 1 to 4 at a temperature of 110±5° C. using an E-beam evaporator. Afterward, a second selective wavelength reflection layer having a dielectric multilayer film structure was formed by alternately depositing SiO2 and Ti3O5 on a second main surface of each of the optical articles at a temperature of 110±5° C. using an E-beam evaporator such that optical filters having the same structure as shown in FIG. 2C were fabricated. The number of stacked layers and the thickness of each of the first and second selective wavelength reflection layers are shown in Table 2 below. In Table 2, the thickness represents the total thickness of the first or second selective wavelength reflection layer, and the unit is micrometer (μm).

experimental example 1

[0134]To evaluate transmittance according to an incident angle of an optical filter of the present invention, an experiment was performed as follows.

[0135]A transmission spectrum of each of the optical filters fabricated in Examples 2, 5 to 7 and Comparative Examples 4 to 6 was measured using a spectrophotometer in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 1,200 nm.

[0136]Transmittances for visible light and near-infrared light according to an incident angle were inferred by measuring transmittances for light having an incident angle of 0° and light having an incident angle of 30°. The results are shown in Table 7 and FIGS. 7 to 10. In Table 7, an average transmittance for visible light refers to an average transmittance calculated in the wavelength range of 430 nm to 565 nm, the maximum transmittance for near-infrared light refers to the maximum transmittance calculated in the wavelength range of 800 nm to 1,100 nm, and an average transmittance for near-infrared light refers to an average t...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an optical article and an optical filter including the same. The optical filter: includes an optical article which has at least two absorption peaks, including a first and a second absorption peak, in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 1,200 nm by containing two or more kinds of near-infrared absorbing pigments, and thus shows a high average transmittance of 86% or greater for light having a wavelength in the visible wavelength range; can limit the maximum transmittance of light having a wavelength in the range of 800 nm to 1,100 nm below 0.5%, so as to prevent lens flare; and can reduce assembly defects due to flexure of an optical filter in the process of assembling the optical filter to an image capturing apparatus, thereby improving yield and productivity.
